This past weekend, we had the privilege of hosting Damian Rivera here in Tampa. Hearing Damian’s journey and his words of wisdom left us with some powerful takeaways: ??Tell your story: Your story stays in the boardroom and resonates beyond it. ??Be authentic: Stay true to your values and let them guide you. ??Create moments of impact: Pause intentionally to craft cliffhanger, edge-of-your-seat moments. ??Adopt a growth mindset: Hone your skills and stay committed to continuous learning. ??Grow and Foster Your Network:? Lean on your "board of directors": Your personal network—family and friends—can guide you, offer perspective, and remind yourself make time to pause or take action.? What are people saying about you when you are not in the room? Spending time with Damian to showcase Tampa during one of our Gasparilla weekends allowed us to discuss the challenges and opportunities for our chapter, get to know each other on a personal level and how we can continue to maintain the momentum in the years to come. Thanks to Kimberly S. and Maria Escalona Chaparro for coordinating the student meet-and-greet with USF and the University of Tampa. Amazing to see collaboration amongst the campuses to increase ALPFA's presence in Tampa; Appreciate Arina Nadya Khona, Ilana Lackrajh, Humberto Campos, and Eric Torres for your leadership in the student chapters. Lastly thanks to Luis Sarmiento, Erica Littlejohn and Maxim Duprat for all the coordination to make the visit with Damian a fruitful one. So much more to come in the new year! #TampaProud #ALPFATampaBay #USF #UniversityOfTampa
